Contest: ENTER SF&F Avatar Contest: The TrekBBS Acting in SF&F Award 2020

[Kai "the spy"]

So, a little over two years ago I did this already, and while it failed to become an annual thing last year, I thought with the Golden Globes just behind us and the Oscars on their way, I'd resurrect the idea.

So, enter avatars depicting your nominations for best acting in a SF/F production (movies and TV) of the past year of 2020 (released between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, sorry WandaVision). Four entries per user, two for male and two for female actors, either can be switched for non-binary nominations.

Also, a note: This is supposed to be about performances, and one production can have more than one good performance. Therefore, if an actor of one production is already entered, and you want to nominate another actor from the same production, by all means, do so.

And a friendly reminder to keep entry sizes at 200x200 pixels and/or 1 Mb data (or lower), and of course, keep it safe for work.

Here are my nominations:

Best Male Actor #1

Wayne Brady; Black Lightning

Best Male Actor #2

Bill Burr; The Mandalorian

Best Female Actor #1

Elizabeth Henstridge; Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Best Female Actor #2

Wunmi Mosaku; Lovecraft Country

Any more nominations?

Come on, it does feel like there was nothing going on in movies and TV in 2020, but this year had films like Birds of Prey, The Old Guard, Project Power, Palm Springs, An American Pickle, Tenet, Bill & Ted Face the Music, New Mutants, The Witches, Children of the Corn, Fatman, and Wonder Woman 1984.

It also had TV shows like Doctor Who, The Umbrella Academy, Locke & Key, a whole bunch of DC-based shows from A as in Arrow to S as in Supergirl, Warrior Nun, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Boys, Raised by Wolves, Alice in Borderland, Kingdom, Upload, etc.

 

[JD]

Antony Starr as Homelander on The Boys

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Technically that's not Homelander, but the entry still qualifies.

 

[JD]

Oh, right, that was the shapeshifter. I can find a different one.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Feel free to do so, but it isn't necessary. I said, it qualifies.

 

[JD]

OK. It's funny, so I'm gonna keep it.

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

is this running through the weekend?
i might squeeze in an entry, i've been working like a wookie lately...

 

[Kai "the spy"]

I guess we can keep this open for the rest of the week. Maybe some more would like to join in. And @auntiehill and @JD both still have the option of entering further nominations.

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

cool, cheers!

 

[auntiehill]

OK, here's one more:
Aunjanue L. Ellis as Hippolyta Freeman in Lovecraft Country.

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

Amazing Milla Jovovich in the surprisingly entertaining "Monster Hunter".

 

[JD]

I've been watching so much older stuff, I can't remember what actually came out in 2020.

I listed several 2020 productions in my previous post.

I just double checked your post and I can't believe I forgot about one of my favorite movies.

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey

I know, pre-lockdown seems ages ago, doesn't it. Had to look up a couple of lists and Wikipedia pages myself to remember and collect all those titles.
